ICYMI: ‘NYN’ looks at school, family and race

Forty educators, politicians, parents, and community members came together for a discussion around the themes presented in the PBS documentary “American Promise.” The film, nearly 14 years in the making, chronicles the lives of two African-American boys as they attend the prestigious Dalton School in New York City.

In this special episode of “New York Now,” WMHT’s Matt Ryan leads a panel discussion with the film’s producers, plus local school superintendents Larry Spring of Schenectady and L. Oliver Robinson of Shenendehowa, and state Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy, D-Albany.
